Hi, If I do this in module myConstants.bas:

Global const One = 1
Global const Two = 2
Global const three = 3

Then in my code, all I have to do is:

if ThisConstant = myConstants.  and when I type the dot, Intellisense
shows all of the constants.  But if I don't want hundreds of constants
to have to search through, I have groups of constants and try to use
enums. But I can't figure out how to get Intellisense.  So If I do:

Public Enum Numbers
  One = 1
  Two = 2
  Three = 3
end enum

I can't do myConstants follows by the dot I don't see anything.  I have
to know in advance I want an enum called "Numbers".  I want it to work
like .NET where I can do:

myConstants.Numbers.Three   Or something similar that lets me have
Intellisense to be able to know what my constants are.  It doesn't do
any good to have a module full of enumerations and then have to open
the file to see which one you want. Thanks.

You should see "Numbers" in the intellisense list plus any additional
enums you have defined.  Are you not seeing this?

Hello, sorry I was not more clear.  If I have several enums, I want to
know what their group is, not just intellisense for what the actual
enums under the group are.  I need it to be like the .NET languages or
Borland languages.  In other words:

Module1

Public enum Names
   name = fred
   name = john
end enum

Public enum Numbers
  One = 1
  Two = 2
end enum

What I would like is to be able to type something like
"Module1.Names.Fred".  And I need intellisense at every dot.  Instead,
I can't use Module1 followed by a dot.  Nothing happens unless I use
"Global Const Fred", etc.  If I do that, I can type Module1. and get a
list of every global constant, but they are not grouped logically.  If
I use the enums, I can not see a way to type "Module1" followed by a
dot to see what my enums are.  I must know in advance what my enums are
called.  Without Intellisense, how do I know that there are enums
called "names" and "numbers"?  That is what I need to find out.  Then
once I find each enum, I need Intellisense to tell me what enums are
there.  If I know I am looking for an enum called "Names", I can type
"Names. " and get a list of names.  But I need a list of enums first.
Thanks.

Instead you may want to use a namespace declaration:

\\\
Namespace Foo
    Public Enum Goo
        ...
    End Enum

    Public Enum Bar
        ...
    End Enum
End Namespace
